HIGH RISK FACTORS
The shares of Common Stock offered hereby involve a high degree of risk
and is highly speculative in nature. Prospective investors should carefully
consider the following risks and speculative factors, among others, inherent in
and affecting both the business of the Company and the value of the Common
Stock, including, among other matters, the following risk factors:
ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIRED AND POSSIBLE LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS
The Company has experienced significant growth since June 1994. The
Company will require substantial capital in the future in order to continue this
growth pattern. In July 1996 the Company engaged Laidlaw Equities, Inc., an NASD
member firm, to, among other things, consult with the Company in regards to its
needs for additional financing. While the Company's working capital at March 31,
1996 was $1,746,656, and the Company raised approximately $1,000,000 through a
private placement of its securities in June 1996, the Company's abilities to
sustain its internal growth are limited by continued availability of additional
working capital. It is presently anticipated by management of the Company that
the Company will seek to raise additional capital through a public offering of
its securities during Fiscal 1997. In addition, the Company's inventory,
accounts receivables and a substantial portion of its property, plant and
equipment are unencumbered and, accordingly, would provide additional sources of
internal working capital should the Company elect to enter into asset based
lending arrangements. There are no assurances that such fundings will be
available upon terms acceptable or feasible to the Company or its stockholders.
In such event, the continued growth of the Company would be restrained. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY OF PTP AND MRO
Two of the Company's subsidiaries, PTP and MRO, have only recently
commenced business and have a limited history of operations. PTP, a consumer
products company, has just begun the introduction of its first product, MR.
FOOD'S ALLOFRESH. To assist PTP in developing brand awareness for its product,
PTP has entered into a licensing agreement with Ginsburg Enterprises
Incorporated ("Ginsburg") covering certain marks related to the television
personality known as "Mr. Food." MRO, which is a subsidiary of IFR, is an
industrial supply house which only begun operations within the past few weeks.
IFR has hired additional experienced salesmen (from a competitor of MRO) to
assist in the rapid development of MRO's business. An investor should be aware
of the potential problems, delays and difficulties often experienced by any
relatively new business enterprise. Problems may arise which may be beyond the
6
control of the management. These may include, but not limited to, unanticipated
problems relating to supplies, marketing and promotional expenses, enforcing
negative publicity, competition, lack of operating experience and need for
additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company's products or
services can continually to be successfully marketed. See "Business."
UNPROVEN MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH
The Company has devoted substantial resources and capital to the
development and introduction of PTP's first product, MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH. While
preliminary indications are that the product will receive wide market acceptance
with retailers and the buying public, which should translate into substantial
revenues and earnings for the Company, there are no assurances whatsoever that
the Company is correct. See "Business."
COMPETITION
Competition in all three divisions of the Company's business is intense.
Competitors include international and national companies, many of which have
longer operating histories, and greater financial, marketing, manufacturing and
other resources than the Company. The Company expects it will be subject to
competition from numerous other entities if its operations continue to grow and
the products in which it markets and developments continue to expand. There are
no assurances whatsoever that any of the Company's divisions will ever obtain,
or if obtained, sustain a competitive advantage. See "Business."
RISK OF DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's day-to-day operations are managed by Lester Gann, as to the
Manufacturing Division, Robert Lovelace and David Debuty, as to the Staffing
Division, and William P. Heath, III and Barry Rothman, as to the Consumer
Products Division. The Company has entered into three year employment agreements
with Messrs. Gann, Lovelace and Debuty and is currently negotiating a one-year
agreement with Mr. Heath. Mr. Rothman is a consultant to the Company and,
accordingly, does not devote his full time and attention to the business and
operations of the Company. The loss of any of the services of any of these
individuals would adversely affect the conduct of the Company's business. The
Company's future success will depend in significant part on its ability to
attract and retain additional skilled personnel in various phases of its
operations. See "Management."
7
NO DIVIDENDS ANTICIPATED TO BE PAID
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since its
inception and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in
the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends is directly dependent
upon future earnings of the Company, the capital requirements of the Company,
its financial requirements and other factors to be determined by the Company's
Board of Directors. For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that earnings,
if any, which may be generated from the Company's operations will be used to
finance the growth of the Company, and that cash dividends will not be paid to
common stockholders. See "Dividend Policy."
POSSIBLE RESALES OF SECURITIES BY CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS AND DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON
MARKET
As of July 31, 1996, there were 1,492,746 shares of the Company's Common
Stock outstanding which were "restricted securities" as that term is defined by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, (the "Securities Act"),
inclusive of 392,000 shares being registered pursuant to this Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Such shares will be eligible for
public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if sold in accordance
with Rule 144. Under Rule 144, a person who has held restricted securities for a
period of two years may sell a limited number of shares to the public in
ordinary brokerage transactions. Sales under Rule 144 may have a depressive
effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock due to the potential
increased number of publicly held securities. The timing and amount of sales of
Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part, as well as such subsequently filed registration statement, could also have
a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sales."
USE OF PREFERRED STOCK TO RESIST TAKEOVERS; POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL DILUTION
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizes 2,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, of which 30 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 30,000 Series C
Preferred Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series D are presently issued and
outstanding. As provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Preferred
Stock may be issued by resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors from time
to time without any action of the stockholders. Such resolutions may authorize
issuance of the Preferred Stock in one or more series and may fix and determine
dividend and liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion privileges,
redemption terms and other privileges and rights of the shares of each
authorized series. While the Company includes such Preferred Stock in its
8
capitalization in order to enhance its financial flexibility, or as with the
Series D Preferred such Preferred Stock could possibly be used by the Company as
a means to preserve control by present management in the event of a potential
hostile takeover of the Company. In addition, the issuance of large blocks of
Preferred Stock could possibly have a dilutive effect with respect to existing
holders of Common Stock of the Company. See "Description of Securities."
LIMITED MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF
SECURITIES PRICES
There is currently only a limited trading market for the Common Stock of
the Company. The Common Stock of the Company trades on the OTC Bulletin Board
under the symbol "WFSC," which is a limited market and subject to substantial
restrictions and limitations in comparison to the NASDAQ System. There can be no
assurance that a substantial trading market will develop (or be sustained, if
developed) for the Common Stock or that purchasers will be able to resell their
securities or otherwise liquidate their investment without considerable delay,
if at all. Recent history relating to the market prices of newly public or
recently listed companies indicates that, from time to time, there may be
significant volatility in the market price of the Company's securities because
of factors unrelated, as well as related, to the Company's operating
performance. There can be no assurances that the Company's Common Stock will
ever qualify for inclusion within the NASDAQ System or that more than a limited
market will ever develop for its Common Stock. See "Price Range of Common
Stock."
BROKER-DEALER SALES OF COMMON STOCK AND LIMITATION ON MARKETABILITY
While the Company has applied for the inclusion of its Common Stock on the
NASDAQ System, there can be no assurances that the Company will ultimately
qualify for inclusion within that system. In order for an issuer to be included
in the NASDAQ System, it is required to have total assets of at least
$4,000,000, capital and surplus of at least $2,000,000, a minimum price per
share of not less than $3.00, have publicly held shares with a market value of
at least $1,000,000 as well as certain other criteria. While the Company
believes it currently meets these criteria there can be no assurance that the
Common Stock of the Company will otherwise qualify for inclusion on the NASDAQ
System. Until the Company's shares qualify for inclusion in the NASDAQ system,
the Company's Common Stock will be traded in the over-the-counter markets on the
OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the Company's Common Stock is covered by a
Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with
assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of
9
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their
spouse). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's
written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule
may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and
may also affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares in the
secondary market. See "Description of Securities."
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
On August 26, 1994 the Company's Common Stock began trading on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol WFSC. Prior to such date, there had been no
market for the Company's Common Stock; thereafter, there has been limited
trading. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices of the
Company's Common Stock for each quarter since the stock began trading on August
26, 1994, and for the interim period from June 30, 1996 (the end of the last
quarter) through August 27, 1996. The following quotations are over-the-market
quotations and, accordingly, reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

August 26, 1994 through September 30, 1994 $ 3.00 $ 2.75
October 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994 $ 4.63 $ 3.00
January 1, 1995 through March 31, 1995 $ 5.67 $ 5.50
April 1, 1995 through June 30, 1995 $ 8.47 $ 8.03
July 1, 1995 through September 30, 1995 $ 8.49 $ 8.14
October 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 $ 7.61 $ 6.04
January 1, 1996 through March 31, 1996 $ 5.89 $ 5.64
April 1, 1996 through June 30, 1996 $ 6.62 $ 6.37
July 1, 1996 through August 27, 1996 $ 5.49 $ 5.23
On August 27, 1996, the closing bid price for the Common Stock was $ 5.12.
As of July 31, 1996, the approximate number of record holders of the Company's
Common Stock was 70. Management of the Company, however, believes there to be in
excess of 500 beneficial holders of the Company's Common Stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since its
inception. The Company presently intends to retain future earnings, if any, to
finance the expansion of its business and does not anticipate that any cash
dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Future dividend policy will
depend on the Company's earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans,
financial condition and other relevant factors.
10
The Company presently has issued and outstanding 30 shares of Series A
Preferred and 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding. Such classes of securities do not pay any dividends. On May 30,
1996 the holder of 70,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock
converted such shares into 70,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant
to the designations, rights and preferences of such series of preferred stock.
See "Selling Security Holders." Prior to such conversion, such 70,000 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock paid annual cumulative dividends of $.43 per share. Any
right to receive dividends was terminated effective with the conversion of such
Series B Preferred. The Company presently has issued and outstanding 30,000
shares of Series C Preferred Stock which pays annual dividends as set by the
Company's Board of Directors. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1995 the
Company paid annual dividends of $30,000 on the Series C Preferred Stock. For
the calendar year ending December 31, 1996, the amount of dividend, if any, on
the Series C Preferred Stock shall only be paid at the discretion of the
Company's Board of Directors. As of the date of this Prospectus, no dividends
have been declared or paid on the Series C Preferred Stock during the calendar
year ending December 31, 1996 and it is not presently anticipated that any
dividends will be declared or paid prior to December 31, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year End
---------------
The Company reported a significant increase in revenues for the year ended
June 30, 1995 primarily as a result of an expansion of the Company's operations
into the contract manufacturing of the thawing trays under a manufacturing
agreement with Naturale Home Products, Inc. ("Naturale"). For the year ended
June 30, 1995, revenues from OIS accounted for approximately 45% of the total
revenues reported with NHP accounting for approximately 42%. Industrial
Fabrication & Repair, Inc. ("IFR"), which was acquired in May 1995, accounted
for the remaining approximately 13% of revenues reported for the year ended. For
the five months ended June 30, 1994 and the year ended January 31, 1994 the
Company's sole source of revenues came from OIS.
The Company's gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased slightly
to approximately 32% from approximately 30% for the five months ended June 30,
1994 and approximately 27% for the year ended January 31, 1994. NHP and IFR each
reported gross profit as a percentage of revenues of approximately 40% and OIS
reported gross profit as a percentage of revenues of approximately 24%. The
decrease of approximately 6% in OIS' gross profit as a percentage of revenues
resulted from a reduction of personnel being supplied by OIS.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of
revenues decreased for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the five
months ended June 30, 1994 and the year ended January 31, 1994. Such was a
result of the significant increase in revenues even after the increase in
overhead associated with NHP. Both the Company's net income before extraordinary
items as a percentage of revenues and net income as a percentage of revenues
also increased as a result of the increase in revenues.
Further, as discussed above, revenues from NHP accounted for approximately
42% of the total revenues reported by the Company for the year ended June 30,
1995. These revenues were reported in the second, third and fourth fiscal
quarters following execution of the Naturale Agreement in November 1994 and are
related to the exclusive manufacture of the ThawMaster family of thawing trays.
14
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 the Company was successful in
significantly expanding the operations of the Company through the acquisitions
of NHP and IFR, thereby removing the Company's prior dependance upon a single
source of revenue. During Fiscal 1996 and beyond management of the Company
intends to continue the expansion of IFR's operations as well as continuing to
further diversify the Company's business.
Nine Months ended March 31, 1996
--------------------------------
The Company reported an approximate 99% increase in revenues for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1995
and it reported an approximate 40% increase in revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.
Results for the three months and nine months ended March 31,1996 reflect a
change in the dominate revenue base within the Company's consolidated operations
and the attendant reduction in gross profit as a result thereof. Management
believes this shift is temporary as a result of the period between the maturity
of one consumer product (such as ThawMaster) and the introduction of another
(MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH). During such three month period, revenues from the
Company's employee staffing division accounted for approximately 15% of the
total revenues reported, with revenues from NHP accounting for approximately
13%; IFR accounting for the approximately 71% of revenues reported; and PTP
accounting for the remaining approximate 1% of revenues reported for the three
months ended. During the comparable three months in Fiscal 1995, revenues from
OIS and NHP, which accounted for 51% and 49%, respectively, were the sole source
of the Company's revenues.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1996 the Company experienced a
significant and continuing decline under a contract with OIS's primary client.
Management had been actively seeking additional contracts or acquisitions to
replace the lost revenues at OIS and in March 1996 the Company acquired 100% of
the issued and outstanding stock of AIM, a small start-up staffing company based
in East Tennessee whose operating officers possess a strong sales background.
AIM, which is also concentrated in the areas of light industrial, light
manufacturing staffing, provides lower cost, less skilled workers which
compliments OIS' niche of providing more skilled, niche employees to its
clients. As a result of this acquisition, the portion of revenues generated by
AIM to the staffing division as a whole have supplanted the decrease in revenues
from OIS thereby maintaining an overall stability in the total revenue base
albeit at the lower gross profit margin typically found in that niche of
15
employee staffing companies. Further, management believes AIM has significant
revenue potential over the next 24 months (with minimal capital requirements)
which would far exceed historical revenues from OIS' operations. In addition, as
described below, the Company has been able to diversify its operations so that
it is no longer solely dependant upon revenues from OIS.
Revenues from NHP for the three months ended March 31, 1996 continue to
reflect a decrease in the sales of the ThawMaster family of thawing trays as the
product continues to mature in the marketplace. There are no assurances that
sales of this product will return to previous levels.
As set forth above, the Company acquired IFR in May 1995 and, accordingly,
the results of operations for the three months and nine months periods ended
March 31, 1995 do not reflect any revenues from IFR's operations. However, a
comparison of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to the
immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 1995 reflect an increase in
revenues from IFR of approximately 7%. Management believes, although there can
be no assurances, that IFR can sustain an annualized growth rate of
approximately 10% during the balance of Fiscal 1996 and beyond through the
acquisition of additional product lines for distribution and expansion of its
historical sales areas.
Finally, the Company has undertaken a new area of expansion through PTP.
PTP's and its first product offering, MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH, which is a natural
mineral which when placed in a refrigerated environment, removes both moisture
and odor from the environment as well as neutralizing ethylene gas, the
by-product of food deterioration, thus significantly extending the life of
refrigerated products. The Company has excavated sufficient mineral to produce
approximately 5,000,000 units and has processed and delivered to the package the
initial run of 100,000 units. It is expected that merchandise will be available
for shipment sometime in the first week of June 1996.
MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH will be initially introduced over direct response
television. These 60 to 120 second commercials featuring Mr. Food endorsing the
product, followed by the traditional "blue" screen which provides information to
order the product, will be run on nationwide cable as well as certain selected
markets nationwide which will be strategically linked to markets in which Mr.
Food's daily syndicated vignettes have the strongest viewer response. The
product will be sold in three packs for approximately $19.99 (plus shipping and
handling) and a nationwide fulfillment house will be engaged to process the
orders. Following the direct response commercials, MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH will be
sold in single units through mass merchandisers, drug and grocery store chains.
16
The Company has undertaken various steps, including the expansion of the
Company's operations through the organization of NHP in November 1994, the
acquisition of IFR in May 1995, the start-up of PTP in October 1995 and the
acquisition of AIM in March 1996, to reduce is previous dependence upon OIS'
operations as a single source of revenue. While there can be no assurances,
management believes the fundamentals are in place to insure a continued growth
of revenues at significant levels and, coupled with stabilized SG&A expenses
(see below) and significant gross profit potential at PTP, the opportunity to
produce healthy earnings through the next 24 months following the product's
initial introductory time period.
The Company's gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased
approximately 5% to approximately 38% for the three months ended March 31, 1996
as compared to the comparable quarter in Fiscal 1995; however, it increased
approximately 7% for the nine months ended March, 1996 as compared to the same
nine months in Fiscal 1995. The decrease during the three months ended is
attributable to the dominance IFR played in the overall revenues of the Company
during that quarter. As set forth above, in the event MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH,
which the Company projects will have a significant gross profit margin, enjoys
the market success the Company currently predicts, the gross profit as a
percentage of revenues should, although there can be no assurances,
substantially improve during the next 24 months following the product's initial
introductory time period.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased substantially to
approximately 15% as compared to approximately 21% for the second quarter of
Fiscal 1996 as a result of cost savings instituted by the Company in the
beginning of Fiscal 1996. Giving effect to such consolidation, the Company
currently projects an annualized SG&A savings of approximately $ 180,000.
Management of the Company believes that SG&A as a percentage of revenues will
remain relatively constant even as the Company expands into other aforedescribed
areas.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity has continued to improve since June 30, 1995. At
March 31, 1996 the Company had working capital of approximately $1,746,656 an
increase of approximately 100% from June 30, 1995. As previously disclosed,
under the terms of the exclusive manufacturing agreement with Naturale, the
Company has provided working capital to Naturale in the form of inventory and
receivable financing. Sales of thawing trays to Naturale are designated at March
31, 1996 as related party accounts receivable by virtue of the 15% ownership
17
interest in Naturale held by the Company at that date. On May 30, 1996 the
Company divested itself of such 15% interest in Naturale, a marketing company,
but retained the exclusive manufacturing rights under the Naturale Agreement.
The Company determined such 15% interest was immaterial to the Company's
financial statements and operations and further conflicted with the
establishment of PTP to market the Company's products. The Company believes all
such receivables, the terms of which are generally 60 to 90 days, are fully
collectable. Inventory at March 31, 1996 is represented approximately 50% by
IFR, with PTP representing approximately 30% and the balance of approximately
20% represented by NHP.
Working capital has been provided from time to time to the Company though
an unsecured loan by its principal shareholder, Yucatan Holding Company
("Yucatan"), which was due in June 1997, subject to extension in the event of
certain occurrences, and is designated on the balance sheet as related party
note payable. In November 1995 Yucatan converted the principal amount of
$936,770 due it by the Company at June 30, 1995 into 170,322 shares of the
Company's restricted Common Stock based upon a conversion price equal to the
closing bid price on the day of conversion.
As the Company expands its operations it will be necessary for the Company
to raise additional capital to fund its operations. In June 1996, the Company
completed a private offering to two institutional investors and two accredited
investors of 222,000 shares of its Common Stock with offering proceeds of
approximately $1,000,000. It is presently anticipated that management will seek
to raise additional capital through a public offering of its securities during
Fiscal 1997. There are no assurances, however, that management will definitively
determine to proceed with such offering or that the Company will be successful
in concluding such an offering. In such event, the continued growth of the
Company would be limited to the internal availability of working capital. The
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and a substantial portion of its
property, plant and equipment are unencumbered and, accordingly, would provide
additional sources of internal working capital should the Company elect to enter
into asset based lending arrangements.
18
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Workforce Systems Corp. (formerly known as Wildflower Financial Corp.), a
Florida corporation (the "Company"), was formed on August 17, 1992 to seek
acquisition possibilities throughout the United States and to make acquisitions
or enter into other business endeavors to the extent its limited assets would
allow. In order to raise the capital necessary to accomplish such goals, the
Company offered 10,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per
share to the public pursuant to a registration statement under the Act, through
its then executive officers on a "best efforts" basis. In June 1993 the Company
completed its initial public offering with the sale of 3,505 shares of Common
Stock, receiving net proceeds, after the costs of the offering, of approximately
$11,371.
Acquisition of Prime Florida and OIS
------------------------------------
Pursuant to its intended business purpose, on June 14, 1994 Mr. F. W.
Miller, the Company's principal shareholder, President and Chairman, sold an
aggregate of 18,200 shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock owned by
him, representing approximately 55% of the Company's then issued and outstanding
stock, in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Act to
Yucatan Holding Company, a Florida corporation ("Yucatan"), for $60,000 (the
"Purchase Price"). Payment of the Purchase Price was tendered in the form of
$5,000 cash at closing together with a $55,000 principal amount installment
promissory note due in full on or before December 31, 1994. Concurrent with the
purchase of the stock by Yucatan, the Company's then current officers and
directors resigned and the Company's current officers and directors were
elected.
Effective June 30, 1994 the Company acquired 51.9% of the issued and
outstanding stock of Outside Industrial Services, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
doing business as Outside Plant Services ("OIS") for 70,000 shares of the
Company's Series B $5.00 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B
Preferred") from an unaffiliated third-party in a private transaction exempt
from registration under the Act. The designations, rights and preferences of the
Preferred Stock provided that the holder thereof (a) should receive annual
dividends equal to $.43 per share, (b) was entitled to full voting rights, share
for share, with any then outstanding Common Stock as well as with any other
class or series of stock of the Company having general voting power with the
Common Stock concerning any matter being voted upon by the Company's
19
shareholders, (c) was entitled to convert such shares into shares of the
Company's restricted Common Stock at any time on a one for one basis and (d) was
redeemable at the option of the Company at $4.30 per share. On May 30, 1996 the
holder of the Series B Preferred converted such shares into 70,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. See "Selling Security Holders."
Also effective June 30, 1994 the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Prime Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Prime") from
Yucatan, which was an affiliate of the Company, for 750,000 shares of the
Company's restricted Common Stock in a private transaction exempt from
registration under the Act. Prime's sole assets included its rights under the
Management Services Agreement with OIS which entitled Prime to all the cash flow
from OIS, together with a 7.4% interest in OIS.
Giving effect to both the 51.9% interest in OIS the Company acquired from
the unaffiliated third party, together with the 7.4% interest in OIS the Company
acquired through its ownership of Prime, the Company then owned 59.3% of the
issued and outstanding stock of OIS. On November 30, 1994 the Company exchanged
30 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for 155 shares of the common stock of
OIS thereby completing its plan to acquire at least 80% of OIS which began in
June 1994. Following such share exchange, the Company is the beneficial owner of
approximately 81% of OIS. The designations, rights and preferences of the Series
A Preferred Stock provide that the shares (a) have full voting rights, share for
share, with the then outstanding common stock of the Company as well as any
other series of preferred stock then outstanding, (b) are not convertible into
any other class of equity of the Company, (c) are redeemable at any time at the
Company's option at par value of $.001 per share, (d) pay dividends at the sole
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, (e) are not transferrable
without the consent of the Company's Board of Directors and (f) in the event of
a liquidation or winding up of the Company, carry a liquidation preference equal
to par value, without interest.
Expansion Into Contract Manufacturing
-------------------------------------
On November 4, 1994 the Company entered into an agreement (the "Naturale
Agreement") with Naturale Home Products, Inc. ("Naturale"), an unaffiliated
third party, whereby the Company was named the exclusive manufacturer through a
then to-be-established wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for all products
developed and marketed by Naturale, including the ThawMaster(TM) thawing trays,
Naturale's initial product. The material terms of the agreement provided that
the Company at its option could either continue the contract manufacturing then
currently in effect between Naturale and an unaffiliated third party, establish
20
additional manufacturing facilities operated by the Company or sub-contract the
manufacturing to other third parties.
In addition to the revenue to be generated through the manufacturing and
sale by the Company of the products to Naturale, the Company is entitled to a
royalty of $.30 to $.50 per unit in perpetuity on all products sold by Naturale.
The Company was also granted a 15% equity interest in Naturale on a fully
diluted basis. At the time of the transaction the Company recorded no value on
its balance sheet as to this 15% interest due to the minority position it
represented within Naturale and the immaterial value to the Company. On May 30,
1996 the Company divested itself of such 15% interest in Naturale, a marketing
company, but retained the exclusive manufacturing rights under the Naturale
Agreement. The Company determined such 15% interest was immaterial to the
Company's financial statements and operations and further conflicted with the
establishment of PTP to market the Company's products. The Company granted
Naturale the option of acquiring the manufacturing operations at a price equal
to the investment in the subsidiary, as well as the option to acquire the rights
to the royalty at a price to be negotiated by the parties in the future.
Following the execution of the Naturale Agreement, in 1994 the Company formed
NHP Manufacturing Corp., a Florida corporation ("NHP"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Naturale Agreement.
Subsequent to the acquisition of IFR (as described below), NHP has become a
subsidiary of IFR.
Soon after the execution of the Naturale Agreement it became evident to
management of the Company that the then current contract manufacturer was unable
to accommodate the production schedule or quality control standards in relation
to the ThawMaster(TM) production. Thereafter the Company determined to
sub-contract out the milling and anodization of the trays to other fabricators
who were unaffiliated third parties and to internally perform the finishing
stages of the thawing trays, including silk screening, assembly, packaging and
shipping. The Company continued to experience quality control problems with the
new fabricators, as well as delays in delivery of milled trays. Further, the
Company determined that by further internalizing the manufacture of the thawing
trays that it would be able to reduce the cost of the product as a result of the
high profit margin being enjoyed by the third-party fabricators. The initial
success of the thawing trays and the potential to internalize the high margin of
third party fabricators created an extraordinary opportunity for the Company to
dramatically increase its asset base, revenue base and successfully diversify it
operations and eliminate its reliance on a single revenue source. Accordingly,
in the Spring of 1995 the Company began to fully internalize the production of
the thawing trays, with the exception of the anodization, through a series of
21
events which led to the acquisition of IFR as described below. This achieved the
Company's goal with respect to the further internalization of the manufacture of
the thawing trays as well as to diversifying the Company's operations and
revenue base.
Acquisition and Expansion of Industrial Fabrication & Repair
------------------------------------------------------------
On May 22, 1995 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Industrial Fabrication & Repair, Inc. ("IFR") from Lester E.
Gann ("Gann") in exchange for 125,925 shares of the Company's restricted Common
Stock (the "IFR Agreement") in a private transactions exempt from registration
under applicable federal and state securities laws as well as being tax-free
pursuant to Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company granted Mr.
Gann a 24 month right of first refusal as to the IFR stock purchased by the
Company in the event of a change of control of the Company (as that term is
defined in the Agreement) or if the Company should desire to transfer the IFR
stock to an unaffiliated third party or to sell all or substantially all of
IFR's assets. IFR, a Tennessee corporation based in Knoxville, Tennessee,
provides machining, welding, speciality design and fabrication for custom
applications to clientele from various industries including paper, steel mills,
rock quarry operations, coal mining applications and bottling facilities.
Concurrent with such acquisition, Mr. Gann executed a three year employment
agreement with IFR providing for an annual base salary of $96,000 with
performance bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors. See
"Management."
In June 1995 the Company purchased a 35,000 square foot manufacturing
facility in Knoxville, Tennessee from an unaffiliated third party to serve as
the new headquarters for IFR. See "Properties."
In July 1996 IFR expanded its scope of business though the formation of
Manufacturer's Requisition Order Corp., a Florida corporation ("MRO") which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of IFR. MRO, based in Dalton, Georgia, is an industrial
supply house representing several lines of power transmissions products, such as
gear boxes, bearings and couplings, which are commonly used in industrial
manufacturing and operating facilities. MRO further diversifies IFR's business
base insomuch as historically IFR had been a fabricator and maintenance provider
without the additional competitive advantage of being an authorized factory
distributor for many of the components used in its business.
22
Formation of Consumer Products Division
---------------------------------------
In October 1995, the Company formed, Products That Produce, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("PTP") which is owned 80% by the Company and 20% by William
P. Heath, III, a then unaffiliated third party who now serves as its president.
PTP's mission is to identify and market new consumer products to both innovative
and moderately priced.
The first product undertaken by PTP is MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH. The product
is being marketed under an endorsement by Art Ginsburg, the nationally
syndicated T.V. chef known as Mr. Food. Made nationally from minerals, non-toxic
and environmentally safe, MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH works to prevent food decay and
eliminates bacteria, moisture, mold, mildew and odors in refrigerators, kitchen
and around the house. The product had its debut in June of 1996 through a
nationwide direct response television commercial, with this initial introduction
followed by introduction into the retail market place through mass
merchandisers, grocery and drug store chains.
Acquisition of American Industrial Management, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------
In February 1996 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of American Industrial Management, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
("AIM") from Messrs. Robert Lovelace, David Debuty and Jones Leasing, Inc., its
shareholders, in a private transaction exempt from registration under applicable
federal and state securities laws in exchange for 17,500 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock. AIM, founded in 1995 and based in Knoxville, Tennessee,
provides industrial personnel for light manufacturing and assembly line
operations to businesses located in the East Tennessee area. In the event the
financial statements of AIM, as prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis reflect a certain
pre-determined average gross profit per month for the immediately preceding
three month period (based upon fiscal quarters for the fiscal year ending June
30) as hereinafter set forth, and Messrs. Lovelace and Debuty are then current
employees of AIM, Messrs. Lovelace and Debuty (who remained operating officers
of AIM) are each entitled to earn additional shares of the Company's restricted
common stock. Specifically, at such time as AIM's financial statements reflect
an average gross profit (as defined in the share exchange agreement) of at least
$50,000 per month for the preceding fiscal quarter, each of Messrs. Lovelace and
Debuty shall be entitled to receive a one time issuance of 50,000 shares of the
Company's restricted common stock; and at such time as AIM's financial
statements reflect an average gross profit (as defined in the share exchange
23
agreement) of at least $70,000 per month for the preceding fiscal quarter, each
of Messrs. Lovelace and Debuty shall be entitled to receive a one time issuance
of an additional 100,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock; and at
such time as AIM's financial statements reflect an average gross profit (as
defined in the share exchange agreement) of at least $90,000 per month for the
preceding fiscal quarter, each of Messrs. Lovelace and Debuty shall be entitled
to receive a one time issuance of an additional 122,500 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock. See "Management."
Engagement of Investment Banking Firm
-------------------------------------
As a result of the foregoing acquisitions and internal expansions begun in
June 1994, the Company is now a diverse holding company with subsidiaries
involved in manufacturing, marketing and distribution and employee staffing
services. In order to maximize the individual and joint components of the
Company's business and operations, in July 1996 the Company engaged Laidlaw
Equities, Inc., an NASD member firm ("Laidlaw"), to serve as its exclusive
financial advisor. Under the terms of the investment banking agreement, Laidlaw
will advise the Company with respect to the development of its business plans,
the Company's capital structure and potential financing strategies, identifying
potential acquisition candidates, and analyzing, structuring, negotiating and
assisting the Company to effect proposed transactions.
Pursuant to the investment banking agreement with Laidlaw, the Company
compensates Laidlaw for its services by (a) the payment of a $7,500 monthly
retainer during the 12 months of the agreement (which is renewable quarterly
thereafter),(b) the issuance to Laidlaw or its designees of warrants to acquire
an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Laidlaw
Warrants") and (c) the obligation to pay Laidlaw certain transactional fees
based upon certain future transactions (the "Laidlaw Transactional Fee"). The
Company has also granted Laidlaw a 24 month right of first refusal to act as
manager or placement agent with respect to any proposed public distribution or
private placement of the Company's securities.
The Laidlaw Warrants are exercisable at any time during their five year
period (which commenced on July 22, 1996 and expire on July 21, 2001) as
follows: 35,000 shares at $5.62 per share (being the closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of the agreement); and 35,000 shares at $6.46
per share (equal to 115% of the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock
on the date of the agreement); and 30,000 shares at $7.31 per share (equal to
130% of the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the
agreement).
24
The Laidlaw Warrants provide that the underlying Common Stock are to be included
in any future registration statements filed by the Company (unless the Company
files on Forms S-4 or S-8 or comparable registration statement); provided,
however, that if the managing underwriter of any future public offering proposed
by the Company advised the Company that the inclusion in any such registration
statement would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of
any securities proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of
shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration statement
(including the shares of Common Stock underlying the Laidlaw Warrants) shall be
reduced pro rata. The Company has included the 100,000 shares of Common Stock
underlying the Laidlaw Warrants in the registration statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part thereof. There are no assurances, however, that Laidlaw
will ever exercise all or any part of the Laidlaw Warrants. See "Use of
Proceeds" and "Selling Security Holders."
The terms of the investment banking agreement provide that in the event
the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a strategic alliance, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or other business combination (a "Strategic
Transaction") pursuant to which the business of the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company is combined with that of another entity identified by Laidlaw (the
"Candidate"), the Company will pay Laidlaw a transactional fee (the "Laidlaw
Transactional Fee") as follows: (a) for a Strategic Transaction with gross
consideration of less than $7 million, Laidlaw will be entitled to a fee equal
to 7% of the gross consideration; (b) for a Strategic Transaction with gross
consideration of $7 million or more, but less than $10 million, Laidlaw shall be
entitled to a fee equal to the greater of $490,000 or 6% of the gross
consideration; or (c) for a Strategic Transaction with gross consideration equal
to or in excess of $10 million, Laidlaw shall be entitled to a fee equal to the
greater of $600,000 or 5% of the gross consideration. In the event the Company
identifies a Candidate and retains Laidlaw in an advisory role, the Laidlaw
Transactional Fee will be payable as follows: (a) for a Strategic Transaction
with gross consideration of less than $7 million, Laidlaw will be entitled to a
fee equal to 4% of the gross consideration; (b) for a Strategic Transaction with
gross consideration of $7 million or more, but less than $10 million, Laidlaw
shall be entitled to a fee equal to the greater of $280,000 or 3.5% of the gross
consideration; or (c) for a Strategic Transaction with gross consideration equal
to or in excess of $10 million, Laidlaw shall be entitled to a fee equal to the
greater of $350,000 or 3% of the gross consideration. The term "consideration"
means the sum of the aggregate fair market value of any securities issued, and
any cash consideration paid, by the Company or by a Candidate or its security
holders in connection with a Strategic Transaction, plus the amount of any
25
indebtedness of the Candidate that is assumed, directly or indirectly, by the
Company.
DIVISIONAL OVERVIEW
Following is a detailed discussion of each of the Company's divisions.
Manufacturing Division
- ----------------------
The Manufacturing Division of the Company is comprised of three entities,
Industrial Fabrication & Repair, Inc. ("IFR") and its subsidiaries NHP
Manufacturing Corp. ("NHP") and Manufacturer's Requisition Order Corp. ("MRO").
IFR, a Tennessee corporation formed in 1979 and based in Knoxville,
Tennessee, provides machining, welding, speciality design and fabrication for
custom applications to clientele from various industries including paper, steel
mills, rock quarry operations, coal mining applications and bottling facilities.
IFR maintains clients within the 150 mile radius of Knoxville, Tennessee
including Coca-Cola Co., Pepsico, Kimberly-Clark Corp., American Limestone,
Florida Steel Corp., Vulcan Materials Co., Dixie Cement, Blue Diamond Coal and
Southeast Ecology Group, a division of Westinghouse. For the nine months ended
March 31, 1996, IFR accounted for approximately 64% of the Company's revenues on
a consolidated basis. No single client accounts for more than 10% of IFR's
annual revenues.
IFR provides its clients with custom design plant processing thereby
minimizing downtime and maximizing production capacity. A sample of current or
pending projects undertaken by IFR include designing components to be used to
crush slag in a radioactive waste processing facility to facilitate packing of
the material for shipment and manufacturing systems in steel mills for transfer
of five ton blocks of rebar to facilitate loading and storage.
As discussed above, following the execution of the Naturale Agreement in
November 1994, the Company undertook the establishment of a contract
manufacturing division through a then wholly-owned subsidiary, NHP, a Florida
corporation formed in 1994. Following the acquisition of IFR and the integration
of its operations into the Company, NHP became a subsidiary of IFR. NHP's
current operations are presently limited to the manufacture of the
ThawMaster(TM) family of thawing trays. It is not presently anticipated that
NHP's operations will expand beyond their current base, and, accordingly, NHP is
dependant upon its contract with Naturale. For the nine months ended March 31,
26
1996 NHP (exclusive from IFR) accounted for approximately 21% of the Company's
revenues on a consolidated basis. The loss or reduction of such revenues could
have a material adverse affect upon the Company until such time as IFR is able
to successfully complete its expansion through its newly formed subsidiary, MRO.
The thawing trays are manufactured from high grade aluminum alloy which is
purchased by NHP either directly from Reynolds Aluminum or on the spot market
from distributors. The price of aluminum, like all commodities, is subject to
price fluctuation from time to time which can either increase or decrease the
manufactured cost of the thawing trays as the aluminum is the most expensive
component of the thawing tray. Historically, the Company has been able to obtain
a sufficient supply of aluminum at a relatively stable price. There can be no
assurances, however, that such will continue to be the case in the future.
NHP owns all inventory of completed thawing trays until such time as the
product is shipped to Naturale's customers, thereby creating a receivable at
Naturale. NHP has a perfected blanket security interest in all of Naturale's
assets, which includes Naturale's receivables.
In July 1996 IFR further expanded its scope of business though the
formation of MRO, a Florida corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
IFR. MRO, based in Dalton, Georgia, is an industrial supply house representing
several lines of power transmissions products, such as gear boxes, bearings and
couplings, including lines from Falk, Goodman Material Handling Components,
Nachi, Leeson Electric, Rainbow Chain, Douglas Manufacturing and Superior Idlers
together with a variety of other chain, bearing and idler distributors handling
components which are commonly used in industrial manufacturing and operating
facilities. As discussed below under "Competition", management of the Company
believes the addition of MRO has the potential (although there can be no
assurances) to significantly increase IFR's competitive advantage in the
marketplace.
Competition
-----------
While IFR competes with numerous fabricators in the East Tennessee area,
management of IFR believes it has limited direct competition as a result of the
comprehensive nature of its services. Within the 150 mile radius of its client
base, IFR is one of a select few fabricators which offers a full bevy of
services from concept and design to engineering and prototype to custom systems.
Management believes the recent formation MRO will increase IFR's competitive
advantage by providing IFR's customers with a single source supply for their
production needs. There can be no assurances, however, that IFR in fact
maintains a competitive advantage or that if such competitive advantage exists,
IFR will be able to retain same in the future.
27
MRO competes with a wide variety of industrial supply houses, the majority
of which are larger, have historical operations and greater resources. There are
no assurances MRO will be able to effectively compete in its market.
Government Regulation and Environmental Compliance
--------------------------------------------------
The operations of the manufacturing division are not subject to any state
or government regulations at the present time, other than normal and customary
rules and regulations, including environmental regulations, to which most
companies are subject. There can be no assurances, however, that future
regulations at the state or federal level, if adopted, will not have a material
adverse effect on the operations of the manufacturing division.
Employees
---------
As of August 31, 1996, the Manufacturing Division had approximately 32
employees, all of which are full time. The Manufacturing Divisions considers its
employee relations to be good.
Staffing Division
- -----------------
The staffing division is comprised of two entities, Outside Industrial
Services, Inc. ("OIS") and American Industrial Management, Inc. ("AIM"). For the
nine months ended March 31, 1996, the staffing division accounted for
approximately 14% of the Company's revenues on a consolidated basis.
OIS, a Tennessee corporation founded in 1982, and AIM, a Tennessee
corporation founded in 1995 and both based and operating in East Tennessee, do
not offer traditional "temporary" services such has providing several employees
on an intermittent, as needed basis. The staffing division's niche market is to
provide specialized labor services on a contract basis to businesses in the
light industrial and light manufacturing areas, augmenting the client's base of
permanent employees. The staffing division supplies personnel with a wide
variety of manufacturing skills to perform skilled and unskilled tasks including
assembly line, janitorial, transportation and maintenance.
The staffing division recruits employees on an as needed basis to fulfill
its existing contracts. Such contracts typically provide for a 30 day
28
termination by either party. As of the date hereof, AIM as three clients which
account for 36%, 22% and 14% of its current, revenues, respectively. The loss of
one or more of such clients could have a material adverse impact upon AIM's
operations until replacement clients are secured, of which there can be no
assurance.
One contract, which OIS has held with a company continuously since 1982,
presently accounts for 100% of OIS's revenues. During the last portion of
calendar 1995 this client has been subject to certain internal restructuring
which has adversely affected the number of OIS employees being provided to such
company. OIS has experienced this same situation with this client on several
occasions during the 13 years in which it has provided it personnel. In the
past, while the duration of such reduction in staffing as varied, in each
instance the number of personnel have either been returned to the historical
levels or increased. In this instance, however, the number of personnel has
continued to decrease and there are no assurances that the staffing levels at
this client will be returned to historical levels or increased by such client in
the future as they have in the past.
Competition
-----------
The staffing division competes with many large international and national
companies, as well as many smaller regional and local companies, many of whom
have far greater assets and revenue base than the staffing division. There are
no assurances the staffing division will ever maintain a competitive advantage
in its marketplace.
Government Regulation and Insurance
-----------------------------------
In many states, the temporary services industry is regulated; however, the
staffing division is not subject to any specific regulation in the State of
Tennessee where all of its current operations are based. In the event the
staffing division should expand its operations outside the State of Tennessee,
of which there are no present plans, it may become subject to regulation by
other states. There can be no assurance that future regulations in the State of
Tennessee, if adopted, or existing or future regulations in states in which the
staffing division should expand its operations will not have a material effect
on the staffing division's operations.
Employees
---------
As of August 31, 1996, the staffing division had approximately 40
employees providing services under existing contracts. In addition to the
employees it provides its clients under the existing contracts, the staffing
division employs an additional four management and administrative employees. The
staffing division considers its employee relations to be good.
29
Consumer Products Division
- --------------------------
In October 1995 the Company formed Products That Produce, Inc., a Florida
corporation ("PTP") which is owned 80% by the Company and 20% by William P.
Heath, III. PTP's mission is to identify and market new consumer products that
are both innovative and moderately priced. PTP business plan provides that it
will assist inventors of fresh, innovative consumer products in getting those
products to market through the provision of a wide array of comprehensive
services, including everything from package design, to manufacturing (either
directly or on an exclusive sub-contract basis) to receivables financing. While
there are numerous larger companies and conglomerates which operate in
essentially the same fashion, the Company believes, although there can be no
assurances, that PTP, by virtue of its size and flexibility, will be able to
attract inventors of unique and innovative products and close transactions with
these inventors at greater speed than these larger companies while providing
more attractive packages to the inventors.
The first product to be undertaken by PTP is MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH. The
product is being marketed under a license agreement with Ginsburg Enterprises
Incorporated ("Ginsburg") which provides for an endorsement by Art Ginsburg, the
nationally syndicated T.V. chef known as Mr. Food. Pursuant to the terms of the
two year agreement, Ginsburg granted PTP a license to the "Mr. Food" marks in
connection with the marketing and sale of the product. As consideration,
Ginsburg is entitled to a certain royalty payments, specifically (a) 15% of the
sales price for any sales made via direct response television or through
electronic retailers or (b) 5% of the sales price for any other sales.
Made nationally from minerals, non-toxic and environmentally safe, MR.
FOOD'S ALLOFRESH works to prevent food decay and eliminates bacteria, moisture,
mold, mildew and odors in refrigerators, kitchen and around the house.
Pursuant to the Company's prospecting, acquisition of mineral rights and
coordination of the necessary geophysical analysis of the minerals, the Company
has executed a five year exclusive lease, which is renewable at the option of
the Company for an additional five year term, with an unaffiliated third party
which permits the Company to excavate whatever quantities of the minerals as it
deems necessary for an annual base fee of $30,000 for the first 1,000 tons. Such
amount is payable in advance at the beginning of each year of the term of the
lease and no portion is refundable in the event at least 1,000 tons are not
30
excavated during the subject year. Thereafter, the Company pays a fee of $30 per
ton. Based upon its inspection of the property, including visits by independent
geologists retained by the Company, management of the Company believes there are
sufficient quantities of the minerals readily available to meet whatever
consumer demand may develop for either MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH or any variation of
the product which the Company may market in the future.
MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH, which is not subject to any special government
approval or regulation, was introduced in late June 1996 through a five week
direct response television campaign. The introduction of MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH
into the retail market place through sales to mass merchandises, grocery and
drug store chains commenced in August 1996. While initial interest is strong, as
of the date hereof there is insufficient data to evaluate the potential market
demand for the product.
MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH is being marketed to retailers through the engagement
by PTP of 19 independent manufacturer's representative organizations across the
United States. These independent contractors are entitled to commissions ranging
from 7% of the sales price (for first orders) to 10% of the sales price for
reorders, which such amounts are generally payable by PTP within 10 days
following the month in which PTP receives payment from the retailer. The
independent sales representatives are responsible for any expenses they incur in
connection with their sales of MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH. The agreements between the
independent sales representatives and PTP may be terminated by 30 days prior
written notice by either party. In the event PTP should determine to terminate
one or more of such independent sales representative, management of the Company
does not believe it would experience any difficulties in engaging replacement
independent sales representatives.
Competition
-----------
PTP competes with many large international and national companies, as well
as many smaller regional and local companies, offering a wide variety of
consumer products, many of whom have far greater assets and operating history
than PTP. There are no assurances that PTP or MR. FOOD'S ALLOFRESH will ever
maintain a competitive advantage in its market place.
Employees
---------
As of the date hereof, PTP has approximately four full time employees in
addition to the 19 independent contractors hereinbefore described. PTP considers
its employee relations to be good.
31
PROPERTIES
The Company maintains principal executive offices in approximately 850
square feet of commercial office space which are leased from an unaffiliated
third party for approximately $750 per month on an annual basis. The Company's
employee staffing division leases two separate facilities, both located in East
Tennessee. The first space which is comprised of approximately 1,800 square feet
of commercial office space is leased by AIM from an unaffiliated third party
under a five year lease expiring in September 2000 for approximately $1,000 per
month. OIS leases an additional 500 square feet of office space on a month to
month basis for $350 per month from an unaffiliated third party. PTP leases
approximately 700 square feet of commercial office space in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida from an unaffiliated third party under a five year lease expiring in
December 2000 for approximately $700 per month. MRO leases approximately 8,000
square feet of industrial/warehouse space in Dalton, Georgia from an
unaffiliated third party on a month to month basis for approximately $1,000 per
month. All of these locations are presently sufficient for the required purposes
and should the Company wish to relocate any office in the future, management
does not believe it would experience any difficultly in locating and securing
alternative office space at a reasonable rate.
Prior to its acquisition by the Company, IFR's principal offices were
located in a 13,500 square foot office/industrial building in Knoxville,
Tennessee which was leased by IFR from Mr. Gann, IFR's President and then sole
shareholder, on an annual basis at a monthly rental of $3,400. Following the
Company's acquisition of IFR, IFR continues to lease this space from Mr. Gann on
a monthly basis at a rental of $1,400 per month.
In June 1995 following the acquisition of IFR the Company, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary Workforce Properties Corp., acquired fee simple title to
an approximate 35,000 square foot office/industrial building in Knoxville,
Tennessee (the "Manufacturing Facility") from an unrelated third party to
provide sufficient space for both the thawing tray manufacturing as well as an
expansion of IFR's business.
The Manufacturing Facility was encumbered by an existing first mortgage in
the original principal amount of approximately $585,000, with interest at 7 3/4%
over the 110 month term which commenced in June 1993. The first mortgage
provided for an initial monthly payment of $4,800 with a monthly increase of
0.377% during the term of the mortgage and no pre-payment penalty. Upon
maturing, assuming all monthly mortgage payments were then current, the mortgage
would be satisfied in full. The Company assumed the existing first mortgage on
32
the Manufacturing Facility, with a remaining principal balance of approximately
$ 390,000 pursuant to the original terms and conditions of the first mortgage.
In connection with the purchase of the Manufacturing Facility, the Company
also assumed approximately $101,000 in past due city and county real estate
taxes due on the Manufacturing Facility. Prior to such assumption, the Company
negotiated an arrangement with the City of Knoxville for the payment of the past
due taxes, which approximated $61,000 in the aggregate for the years 1991, 1992,
1993 and 1994, over a period of 24 months by making monthly installments of
$2,538.00. The Company also assumed a similar arrangement the prior owner of the
Manufacturing Facility had negotiated with Knox County for the payment of past
due taxes, which approximated $40,000 for the years 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and
1994, over a period of 12 months by making monthly installments of $3,797.72.
The Company has made all of the required tax payments in accordance with the
terms negotiated with each taxing authority, as well as paying all current taxes
on the real property as they become due and payable.
The Manufacturing Facility, which is in good condition, is sufficient for
the Company's present needs and management of the Company believes it is
adequately covered by insurance.

Employment Agreements
- ---------------------
As set forth below, certain of the Company's subsidiaries are parties to
employment agreements with key employees of those subsidiaries.
In May 1995 at the time of the acquisition of IFR, IFR entered into a
three year employment agreement with Lester Gann providing for an annual base

bonuses have been awarded. Mr. Gann is also entitled to participate in all
37
benefit programs of IFR as may be made available to other salaried employees.
Mr. Gann's employment agreement contains customary provisions providing for
confidentiality as well as a 12 month non-compete following the termination of
the agreement.
In conjunction with the acquisition of AIM in March 1996, Messrs. Lovelace
and Debuty each signed three year employment agreements with AIM. Such
agreements provide for an annual base compensation of $66,000 each and provide
for certain additional compensation in the form of an aggregate of the issuance

the agreements.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Florida Business Corporation Act (the "Corporation Act") provides for
indemnification of directors, employees, officers and agents of Florida
corporations. The Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and
bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify as directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the Corporation Act. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1993 (the "Act") maybe permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed and the
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

outstanding capital stock of Prime from Yucatan. Mrs. Chesnutt and Mrs. Dorrough
are the officers and directors of Yucatan and Mrs. Dorrough was the sole
shareholder of Prime.
On June 30, 1994 a company owned by Mrs. Dorrough issued OIS a demand
promissory note in the principal amount of $65,000 bearing interest at 6% per
annum, evidencing certain advances which had been made against management fees
payable by OIS to such company. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 such
note was paid in full.
On March 21, 1995 Mrs. Chesnutt and Mrs. Dorrough were each awarded 48,500
shares of Common Stock for services rendered by them in connection with the
38
Naturale Agreement. The fair market value on the date of issuance was $ 6.57 per
share resulting in aggregate value to each of Mrs. Chesnutt and Mrs. Dorrough of
$318,645.
From time to time, the Company has borrowed funds from Yucatan Holding
Company, the Company's principal shareholder ("Yucatan"), for working capital
purposes. Pursuant to the terms of certain promissory note in the principal
amount of $936,770 dated June 30, 1995 issued by the Company to Yucatan (the
"June Note"), Yucatan, in its sole discretion, could convert all or a portion of
the principal and accrued unpaid interest pursuant to the June Note into shares
of the Company's Common Stock based upon a conversion ratio to be determined by
the parties at the time of conversion. Subsequent to June 30, 1995, Yucatan
advanced the Company additional funds for working capital and on September 30,
1995 the principal amount due Yucatan by the Company was $1,210,446.
On November 27, 1995, Yucatan converted the face value of the June Note
into shares of the Company's Common Stock based upon conversion ratio equal to
the closing bid price of the Company's common stock as reported on the OTC
Bulletin Board on the date of conversion which was $5.50 per share. Accordingly,
the Company issued Yucatan 170,322 shares of its restricted Common Stock. The
Company remained indebted, on an unsecured basis to Yucatan for advances made
subsequent to June 30, 1995 in the amount of $273,676. Subsequent to November
27, 1995 such amount has been repaid to Yucatan by the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to issue
l0,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 2,493,934 were issued and
outstanding as of August 28, 1996. The holders of the Company's Common Stock are
entitled to receive dividends at such time and in such amounts as may be
determined by the Company's Board of Directors, and upon liquidation are
entitled to share ratably in the assets of the Company, subject to the rights of
42
the holders of any shares of preferred stock which may be outstanding, remaining
after the payment of all debts and other liabilities.
All shares of the Company's Common Stock have equal voting rights, each
share being entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and all
other purposes. Holders of such Common Stock are not entitled to any preemptive
rights to purchase or subscribe for any of the Company's securities. All of the
Company's Common Stock which is issued and outstanding is fully paid and
non-assessable. Stockholders, including the holders of any series of preferred
stock outstanding, do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the
holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Directors are
able to elect 100% of the Company's Directors.
It is not contemplated that any dividends will be paid on the Common
Stock, and the future ability to pay dividends will be dependent upon the
success of the Company's operations and the decision by its Board of Directors
at that time.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $.0001 per share, issuable in such series and bearing such voting,
dividend, conversion, liquidation and other rights and preferences as the Board
of Directors may determine. As of August 28, 1996 there are 30 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, 30,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding, with 969,970 shares of preferred stock remaining without
designation.
The designations, rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock
provide that the shares (a) have full voting rights, share for share, with the
then outstanding Common Stock of the Company as well as any other series of
preferred stock then outstanding, (b) are not convertible into any other class
of equity of the Company, (c) are redeemable at any time at the Company's option
at par value of $.001 per share, (d) pay dividends at the sole discretion of the
Company's Board of Directors, (e) are not transferable without the consent of
the Company's Board of Directors, and (f) in the event of a liquidation or
winding up of the Company, carry a liquidation preference equal to par value,
without interest.
43
In connection with the acquisition of OIS (See "Business - Acquisition of
Prime and OIS"), the Company issued 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in
exchange for 51.9% of OIS. The designations, rights and preferences of the
Series B Preferred provided that the holder thereof (a) should receive annual
dividends equal to $.43 per share, (b) was entitled to full voting rights, share
for share, with any then outstanding Common Stock as well as with any other
class or series of stock of the Company having general voting power with the
Common Stock concerning any matter being voted upon by the Company's
stockholders, (c) was entitled to convert their shares of Series B Preferred
into shares of restricted Common Stock at any time on a one for one basis, and
(d) was redeemable at the option of the Company at $4.30 per share. On May 30,
1996 the holder of the Series B Preferred converted such stock into 70,000
shares of Common Stock which are included in the registration statement of which
this Prospectus forms a part. Subsequent to such conversion, the 70,000 shares
of Series B Preferred have been returned to the status of authorized but
unissued preferred stock without designation.
The designations, rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock
provide that the shares (a) have no voting rights, (b) are not convertible into
any other class of equity of the Company, (c) are redeemable at any time at the
Company's option at an amount equal to the prior year's annual dividend as
previously set by action of the Company's Board of Directors, (d) pay dividends
at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, (e) are not
transferable without the consent of the Company's Board of Directors and (f) in
the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company, carry a liquidation
preference equal to par value, without interest. An annual dividend rate of
$36,000 for the calendar year of 1995 was set by the Board of Directors and paid
in accordance therewith. For the calendar year of 1996 the Board of Directors
has determined that dividends, if any, on the Series C Preferred Stock will be
paid at its discretion. As of the date hereof, no dividends have been declared
or paid and it is not anticipated that any will be declared for paid during the
balance of calendar 1996.
The designations, rights and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock
provide that the shares (a) have full voting rights, share for share, with the
then outstanding Common Stock of the Company as well as any other series of
preferred stock then outstanding, (b) are not convertible into any other class
of equity of the Company, (c) are redeemable at any time at the Company's option
at a price per share to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the holder at
the time of redemption, (d) do not pay any dividends, and (e) in the event of a
liquidation or winding up of the Company, carry a liquidation preference equal
to par value, without interest.
44
WARRANTS
In July 1996, in connection with the engagement of Laidlaw as the
Company's investment bankers, the Company granted Laidlaw warrants to acquire
100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Laidlaw Warrants are
exercisable at any time during their five year period (which commenced on July
22, 1996 and expire on July 21, 2001) as follows: 35,000 shares at $5.62 per
share (being the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of
the agreement); and 35,000 shares at $6.46 per share (equal to 115% of the
closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the agreement);
and 30,000 shares at $7.31 per share (equal to 130% of the closing bid price of
the Company's Common Stock on the date of the agreement). The Laidlaw Warrants
provide that the underlying Common Stock are to be included in any future
registration statements filed by the Company (unless the Company files on Forms
S-4 or S-8 or comparable registration statement); provided, however, that if the
managing underwriter of any future public offering proposed by the Company
advised the Company that the inclusion in any such registration statement would
interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of any securities
proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of shares of Common
Stock proposed to be included in such registration statement (including the
shares of Common Stock underlying the Laidlaw Warrants) shall be reduced pro
rata. The Company has included the 100,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the
Laidlaw Warrants in the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part thereof. There are no assurances, however, that Laidlaw will ever exercise
all or any part of the Laidlaw Warrants. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Selling
Security Holders."
OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKET
The Company's Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "WFSC." The Company has applied for inclusion of its Common Stock on the
NASDAQ System (Small Cap). On January 24, 1996 the Company received written
comments from the staff of the NASD generally requesting clarification on the
Company's treatment of certain items on the Company's audited financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 1996 which resulted in goodwill. The
Company's auditors have concurred with the Company's treatment of such items.
Following the filing of its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, the Company intends to complete its application process for
listing on the NASDAQ system. While there can be no assurances the listing will
be granted, management believes that the Company will be able to adequately
respond to the staff's comments in such a fashion so as to complete the listing
45
process. If for any reason the Common Stock is not accepted for inclusion on the
NASDAQ System, then in such case the Company's Common Stock would be expected to
continue to be traded in the over-the-counter markets through the "pink sheets"
or the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board. In the event the Common Stock were not
included in the NASDAQ System, the Company's Common Stock would be covered by a
Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with
assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their
spouse). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's
written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule
may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and
also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their shares
in the secondary market. The ability of the Company to secure a symbol on the
NASDAQ System does not imply that a meaningful trading market in its Common
Stock will ever develop.
Transfer Agent
The Transfer Agent for the shares of Common Stock is Florida Atlantic
Stock Transfer, Inc., 5701 North Pine Island Road, Suite 325, Tamarac, Florida
33321.
CERTAIN MARKET INFORMATION
As of August 28, 1996, 2,493,934 shares of the Company's Common Stock are
outstanding of which 1,492,746 shares are "restricted securities," as such term
is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, inclusive of the 392,000 shares of
Common Stock to be registered for possible resale pursuant to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
In general, Rule 144 (as presently in effect), promulgated under the Act,
permits a stockholder of the Company who has beneficially owned restricted
shares of Common Stock for at least two years to sell without registration,
within any three-month period, such number of shares not exceeding the greater
of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or, if the Common Stock is
quoted on NASDAQ, the average weekly trading volume over a defined period of
time, assuming compliance by the Company with certain reporting requirements of
Rule 144. Furthermore, if the restricted shares of Common Stock are held for at
least three years by a person not affiliated with the Company (in general, a
46
person who is not an executive officer, director or principal stockholder of the
Company during the three-month period prior to resale), such restricted shares
can be sold without any volume limitation. Any sales of shares by stockholders
pursuant to Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the price of the Company's
Common Stock.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Workforce Systems Corp.
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Workforce Systems
Corp. (a Florida Corporation) and subsidiaries as of the year ended June 30,
1995 and June 30, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
retained earnings, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1995, the five
month period ended June 30, 1994, and the year ended January 31, 1994. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for
my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Workforce Systems
Corp. and subsidiaries as of the year ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended and
the five months ended June 30, 1994, and the year ended January 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ended June 30, 1994, and for the year ended January 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Workforce Systems Corp. (formerly known as Wildflower Financial Corp.), a
Florida corporation (the "Company") was formed on August 17, 1992, to seek
acquisition possibilities throughout the United States and to make acquisitions
or enter into other business endeavors to the extent its limited assets would
allow. In order to raise the capital necessary to accomplish such goals, the
Company offered 10,000 shares of common stock, par value $ .001 (the "Common
Stock") to the public pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In June 1993, the Company completed its
initial public offering with the sale of 13,505 shares of Common Stock,
receiving net proceeds, after the costs of the offering, of approximately $
11,371.
ACQUISITION OF PRIME FLORIDA, INC. AND OUTSIDE INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC.
Pursuant to its intended business purpose, on June 14, 1994, the Company's
principal shareholder, President and Chairman, sold shares of the Company's
restricted Common Stock owned by him, representing approximately 55 % of the
Company's then issued and outstanding stock, in a private transaction.
Effective June 30, 1994, the Company acquired 51.9 % of the issued and
outstanding stock of Outside Industrial Services, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
doing business as Outside Plant Services, Inc. (OPS) for 70,000 shares of the
Company's Series B $ 5.00 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B
Preferred Stock") from an unaffiliated third party in a private transaction.
Also, effective June 30, 1994, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Prime Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Prime") from
Yucatan Holding Company for 750,000 shares of the Company's restricted Common
Stock in a private transaction. Prime's sole assets included its right under the
Management Services Agreement with OPS (as hereinafter described), together with
a 7.4 % interest in OPS.
Giving effect to both the 51.9 % interest in OPS the Company acquired in the
aforedescribed transaction, together with the 7.4 % interest in OPS the Company
acquired through its ownership of Prime, the Company was then the owner of 59.3
% of the issued and outstanding stock of OPS.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and the five month period
ended June 30, 1994, and for the year ended January 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On November 30, 1994, the Company exchanged 30 shares of its Series A Preferred
Stock for 155 shares of the common stock of OPS thereby completing its plan to
acquire at least 80 % of OPS which began in June 1994. Following such share
exchange, the Company is the beneficial owner of approximately 81 % of OPS.
OPS was formed in 1982 for the purpose of arranging specialized labor services
to industries in the East Tennessee area. The Company arranges assembly line,
janitorial, transportation and maintenance services at negotiated hourly rates.
The Company's primary contract has run continually since the inception of the
Company; however, is from time to time renewed, usually when the Company is
negotiating labor rate changes.
The Company's primary contract was last renewed July 15, 1994, for one year and
provided for an automatic one year extension until July 15, 1996, unless the
Company was notified by April 15, 1996. The contract automatically renewed under
it terms.
Under the terms of its contract the Company independently hires its own
employees and therefore is responsible for employee taxes and any provided
benefits. Further, in compliance with its contracts the Company maintains
general and automobile liability policies on a negotiated basis and all
statutory workmen's compensation insurance.
Prime, pursuant to the terms of the Management Service Agreement, provides OPS
with the management and technical expertise necessary to manage OPS' business
and be competitive in the marketplace. As compensation thereunder, Prime
receives an amount equal to all net cash flow from the operations of OPS in
excess of $ 30,000 per annum, with such $ 30,000 paid to a minority shareholder
of OPS and treated and recorded as a dividend to such minority shareholder.
The above reverse acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting.
The management of the Company in accordance with the purchase method of
accounting, comments from the National Association of Securities Dealers, inc.
and Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretations has elected to
record the issuance of the Company's Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
issued in conjunction with the acquisitions of OPS and Prime in an amount
approximating the net book value of the acquired companies.

EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS - NHP MANUFACTURING CORP.
On November 4, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Naturale Home
Products, Inc. ("Naturale") whereby the Company was named the exclusive
manufacturer through a to-be-established wholly-owned subsidiary of the
registrant for all products developed and marketed by Naturale, including the
Thaw Master (TM) thawing trays. The material terms of the agreement provided
that the Company at its option could either continue the contract manufacturing
currently in effect with an unaffiliated third party on a sub-contract basis,
establish additional manufacturing facilities operated by the Company or
sub-contract the manufacturing to other third parties. The agreement further
provided that the Company would establish a wholly-owned subsidiary and
capitalize such subsidiary with a minimum of $ 350,000 which such funds would be
used to (I) undertake the manufacturing operations, (ii) provide an inventory of
products and (iii) working capital. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company
established NHP Manufacturing Corp., a Florida corporation ("NHP") which is
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At June 30, 1995, the Company had
compiled with the terms of the contract. In connection with the above the
Company issued 170,500 shares of registered stock for consulting and
professional fees.
ACQUISITION OF INDUSTRIAL FABRICATION & REPAIR, INC.
On May 22, 1995, the Company acquired 100 % of the issued and outstanding
capital stock (the "IFR Stock") of Industrial Fabrication & Repair, Inc. ("IFR")
from its sole shareholder who was a non-affiliated third party to the Company in
a private transaction exempt from registration under applicable federal and
state securities laws as well as being tax-free pursuant to Section 368 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in exchange for 125,925 shares of the
Company's restricted common stock. The Company granted such exchanging IFR
shareholder a 24 month right of first refusal as to the IFR Stock in the event
of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Agreement) of if the
Company should desire to transfer the IFR Stock or sell all or substantially all
of IFR's assets.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
IFR is an industrial fabrication based in Knoxville, Tennessee that provides
specialized contracting, machinery, tools and design work, and sells power
transmission supplies. The principle followed in determining the amount of
consideration paid by the Company was a multiple of book value of IFR, such book
value having been adjusted to reflect the fair market value of readily
identifiable tangible assets recorded in the books and records of IFR at April
30, 1995. In addition the Company acquired a building and property to house the
expanded operations of IFR through the assumption of debt and cash of
approximately $ 850,000. In conjunction with the above IFR and real property
acquisition the Company issued 183,300 shares of registered stock for consulting
and professional fees.
The IFR acquisition cost was recorded as follows:
Inventory $ 494,070

ended June 30, 1994, and for the year ended January 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over five, seven and
forty years. Depreciation of $ 12,000 was expensed for the year ended June 30,
1995. The balance reflected at June 30, 1994, is estimated salvage value. During

connection with acquisition, improvement and set up of fixed assets.
INTANGIBLES, ACQUISITION AND ORGANIZATION COSTS
The Company has elected to amortize acquisition, goodwill and start up cost over

Company expensed $ 40,000 and $ 346, respectfully, for amortization cost. The
intangibles resulted from the issuance of S8 stock in connection with the
acquisition of OPS, NHP Manufacturing and IFR.
INCOME TAXES
In connection with the acquisition of IFR as previously discussed, the Company
established total deferred income taxes of $ 235,000 to provide for the
difference in book value and tax basis resulting from recording IFR assets at
fair market value. In addition, other minor deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recorded to provide for timing differences.
EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
Earnings per common and common equivalent share were computed by dividing net
income, adjusted by the dividends paid to a common shareholder of OPS pursuant
to a management agreement and for dividends paid to the other preferred
shareholders, by the number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock
equivalents outstanding at the end of June 30, 1995.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As discussed in Note 1, NHP Manufacturing was established initially to provide
product to a related company, Naturale Home Products, Inc. in which the Company
owns a 15 % interest.
During the year ended June 30, 1995, NHP Manufacturing sold to Naturale Home
Products approximately $ 1,175,000 of products and OPS provided approximately $
182,000 of labor services, the total related party sales representing
approximately 48 % of the Company's total sales.
In addition to the above, the Company, pursuant to it's contract with Naturale
Home Products, provided working capital and accounts receivable financing for
Naturale Home Products. Such advances were secured by a blanket security
interest in all the assets of Naturale Home Products. At June 30, 1995, Naturale
Home Products was indebted to the Company for the accounts receivable for
approximately $ 855,000.
In conjunction with the manufacturing agreement with Naturale Home Products, the
acquisition of Industrial Fabrication & Repair, Inc. and the acquisition of real
property the Company issued 293,000 shares of registered common stock valued at
$ 2,320,310 to officers and other related parties associated with the Company's
major stockholder as defined under FASB 57 for the year ended June 30, 1995, in
payment of organization, start up and acquisition costs.
During the year ended June 30, 1994, the Company issued 190,000 shares of
registered common stock to a related party, as defined under FASB 57, in payment
of a $ 279,000 acquisition cost.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
During the year ended June 30, 1995, funds were transferred between the
Company's major stockholder, other related parties, and the Company as required
for various cash needs by the Company. As of June 30, 1995, the Company is
indebted to the major stockholder on a promissory note dated June 30, 1995, for
$ 936,770, bearing quarterly interest at the prime rate as published in the WALL
STREET JOURNAL. The initial rate of interest is 8.75 %. The note is due on June
30, 1997, and may, at the option of the holder, be converted into common shares
of the Company for any principal or interest payments required under the note.
The conversion ratio is to be established by the Holder and Maker at the time of
conversion.
The note also contains a provision that in the event Maker's common stock is
listed for trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market or similar stock exchange (the
"Exchange") on June 30, 1997, and in the opinion of counsel for Maker the
payment of this Note by Maker would adversely affect the continuance of Maker's
listing, in the sole discretion of the Maker, the due date of the Note may be
extended until June 30, 1999; provided written notice of same accompanied by an
opinion of counsel stating that such payment would adversely affect the listing
of Maker's common stock on the Exchange is delivered to Holder on or before June
1, 1997.
NOTE 6 - EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
During calendar 1991, prior management of the Company failed to deposit payroll
taxes on a timely basis. As a result, the Company incurred significant payroll
tax penalty and interest. Current management negotiated a payment plan with the
Internal Revenue Service to satisfy the Company's obligation at the rate of $
2,500 weekly. As of the date of this report, the Company has paid the prior
liability under this agreement.
APB Opinion No. 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, defines extraordinary
items as events or transactions that meet both of the following criteria:
a. UNUSUAL NATURE - the underlying event or transaction should possess a
high degree of abnormality and be of a type clearly unrelated to, or
only incidentally related to, the ordinary and typical activities of
the entity, taking into account the environment in which the entity
operates. (An event or transaction is not considered to be unusual
merely because it is beyond the control of management.)

NOTE 6 - EXTRAORDINARY ITEM (CONTINUED)
b. INFREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE - the underlying event or transaction should
be of a type that would not reasonably be expected to recur in the
foreseeable future, taking into account the environment in which the
entity operates.
Due the circumstances surrounding this failure, current management believes the
payroll tax interest and penalty should be treated as an extraordinary item. For
the five months ended June 30, 1994, amounts paid were not material and
therefore are not classified as such. The components of this item follows:
Five Months
Ended
June 30, 1994
-------------
Interest $ 9,292
Penalty 21,566
Less tax benefit (3,965)
-------------
$ 26,893
=============
During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company settled the tax liability with
the Internal Revenue Service resulting in an adjustment of an over accrual of $
45,000 for payroll tax penalties. This adjustment is reflected in income as an
extraordinary item.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company provides deferred income tax assets and liabilities under FASB 109
for timing differences between book and taxable income. These differences are
not considered material at June 30, 1995.
As previously discussed, the Company established a deferred income tax liability
due to the acquisition of IFR in the amount of $ 235,000 for differences between
the book and tax basis of the acquired assets. The current amount of deferred
taxes was estimated by the Company at $ 58,750. The non current deferred amount
was estimated at $ 176,250.
The tax provision for the years ended June 30, 1995, June 30, 1994 and January
31, 1994, was based on a state statutory rate of 6 % and an average federal
statutory rate of 34 %.

NOTE 9 - BUILDING LEASE
As of January 1, 1995, the Company leased its manufacturing and office
facilities for NHP Manufacturing under a lease agreement that requires monthly
rental payments and monthly contributions to operating expenses of $ 3,267 and $
467, respectively. The lease expires on June 30, 1998. The Company has the
option to extend the lease on a month to month basis.
NOTE 10 - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY
As discussed in Note 5, 48 % of the Company's sales for the year ended June 30,
1995, were to a related party. The major customer of OPS accounts for 36 % of
the Company's sales. The acquisition of IFR should substantially change the
Company's sales dependency upon these two customers.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide indemnification of
directors and officers and other corporate agents to the fullest extent
permitted pursuant to the laws of Florida. The Articles of Incorporation also
limit the personal liability of the Company's directors to the fullest extent
permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act. The Florida Business
Corporation Act contains provisions entitling directors and officers of the
Company to indemnification from judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, as the result of an action or
proceeding in which they may be involved by reason of being or having been a
director or officer of the Company, provided said officers or directors acted in
good faith.
Insofar as indemnification or liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable in
the. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as express
in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to Regulation D. An aggregate of
180,000 shares were sold at $4.125 per shares and the balance of 42,000 shares

(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(I) To include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any additional or changed material
information with respect to the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that
time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against
